It is a fun technique and I have been receiving questions about it so I thought it would be a good choice. You will find my tutorial here. I really hope it answers some of your questions and you will find it helpful (and I really hope it makes sense too. LOL!)

Of course, I just knew I had to use one of the new WOJ Christmas Gnomes by our new illustrator Norma Fickel. They are perfect for this technique.

What I will show you now is the finished card. I used my oval nesties to cut it out and stamped the WOJ Christmas swirls around the edges. It is our own Sonja that created them and they add such a touch of magic! I then lightly sponged the edges in the same ink. In the end, after coloring the baubles in the trees so carefully, I ended up covering them with some bling. My cards tend to sometimes have a life of their own!

Lovely card Jeanette! It's gorgeous! I can't wait to read over your tutorial now! I adore your coloring! :)Big Hugs~ KimPS - I have some special blog candy on my blog and would love for you to take a peek. It's for a special cause!

What a wonderful card...love that image it is too cute. REally love how you finished off the oval. Such a simple idea to stamp and sponge around the edge. So glad there are people like you to inspire us.
